Forums - Sales - Namco Bandai Financial Report Summary (includes ToV sales)

Namco being less and less relevant every day. I bet Same time next year they will be in the same league as Tecmo and Koei.

What are they bleeding money from?

Also I want to see some Tales of Graces projections.

hard to tell from this alone, but maybe it's in the NDS section?

11 titles and barely more units sold than from the 4 PS2 titles, although NDS development is probably quite cheap in comparison so it might not be a good idea to read too much into that.

They earn more on PSP than DS? That's pretty weird. They're doing well on the Wii though.



It's really good to see Scamco posting such a huge loss. Serves them right.



Meh, they just had a weak quarter. It's likely that Afro Samurai bled a good amount of money for them (HD titles are generally expensive no matter what), and none of their games sold exceptionally well. But it's not like it's the biggest loss ever, and the economy has been doing pretty terrible for the last year. Leave 'em alone.

Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny must've been a huge flop for them, it didn't even get listed? I thought it'd have at least shipped 250k worldwide?!

Next quarter should be better. Tekken 6 will sell well, but I think there's going to be some more blowback than expected from the critical flaws. Taiko Wii 2, Gundam Vs Gundam Next Plus and Tales of Graces should all be solid performers in Japan (300k+ each). Dragon Ball Raging Blast has potential too, though it could also crash and burn.



All hail the mighty Ben10

They deserved it and I am glad. At least I dont want them out of business. There is still one more bullshit title that no one wanted to release: Splatterhouse. I like the original series, but this one seems to be Namco's Bionic Commando.

Wow, some of the earlier posts in here are just funny. Looking at the chart, it seems that the Tales of Vesperia numbers include the PS3 and 360 shipments for the quarter in Japan and Europe. So, whatever 360 shipments were sent out, were only in Europe.
